Abstract

The diet of Hipposideros diadema was studied in a population of about 300-400 individuals which inhabited the cave Gua Dato Kob of Gua Musang Kelantan. Throughout the study period of about six months (May to October 1993) eight orders of insects comprising of at least 29 species from 13 families were identified in the diet of Hipposideros diadema. Insects from the order Isoptera Coleoptera and Orthoptera formed the three major components of its diet with percentage proportions of 35.0 26.0 and 22.0 respectively. There seemed to be likely seasonal changes in its diet. Isoptera was mainly consumed in June and September; Coleoptera in May and July while Orthoptera in September.
